T-Mobile G1 getting ultra-minor firmware update

Feeling like the world is passing you by, G1 owners? That Android has moved on? That no one loves you anymore? Well, take heart: T-Mobile isn't done updating you yet. The tiniest of updates is now in the process of rolling out to G1s across the land, featuring improved "call performance" without "any additional feature enhancements." In other words, this is a one-trick pony -- but probably a good one, and it's still better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. The update's already being rolled out, and all customers should have it by March 15.

Is this just USA or everywhere?

"It's still better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick." LOL!
Quite the unwavering optimist.

To all G1 owners:

Sell yours and buy a Nexus One like I did.

It's Android, on steroids.

Is the g1 a good phone?

The only reason I'm using my G1 is because my Nexus is broken and being repaired. G1 never broke. So much for $600 buying the best. FYI it was the power button that gave out. You had to really mash it and only occasionally would it register a press. Stupidly I did not insist upon the swap and instead allowed them to do a "repair". Either way I'm probably getting a refurbished product back in the mail.

@Johnny Rockets

Yes, indeed. G1 owners, move on.
Do as we've done. Get the Nexus One already.
Android the way it was meant to be run.

@joshuakarthik

But it's so hard to let go...
I wish Google would offer a G1 exchange program, to knock off say... $200 off that sticker price?
